A TRUE SOLUTION OF THE JEWISH PROBLEM, AND FIXED 
LAWS THAT RULE TRIBES AND NATIONS. 



CHAPTER I. 



It is by no means easy to arrange and condense the 
mass of information, which we wish to convey to the 
minds of the people, concerning the fall and progress of 
these most stupendous nations of the world. No sub- 
ject can be thoroughly understood until its elements 
have been learned. This principle holds good in divine 
studies, the same as in other things, and oftimes becomes 
subjects of dispute, because our minds fly above 
or away from scripture in studying, and think to under- 
stand the end, without having had a clearer view of the 
beginning. 

This is our apology for inviting our readers to go 
back with us to the days of Abraham. We will give an 
illustration of the nations of Abraham which proves a 
fixed law of attraction, that governs the people as nations 
and tribes; each given a nature, blessing and adaptabili- 
ties, that follow them to the end of time. 

In Jeremiah 1:10 we see how the Lord set him over 
the nations, and over kingdoms; to root out, to pull down 
and destroy. He first prophesied the destruction and 
pulling down of Jerusalem, the house of Judah, and cap- 
tivity of God's people. Jere. 18:7. In the 8th verse he 



4 A NEW RACE PHRENOLOGY. 

speaks as of another nation; further on was to buil 1 and 
to plant. Jere. 1:10. If it do evil in my sight, that it 
obey not my voice, then will I repent of the good where- 
with I said I would benefit them. Yet we are free to do 
good or evil, as is proven by the way in which the people 
have abused these great gifts of nature, which are all 
good, until, by constant sinning, we abuse and degrade 
them. Before we are capable of judging, who God, 
through Jeremiah, pulled down and built up (which 
means built in the priesthood, to learn the law of Moses) 
we must first learn the nature and adaptabilities of the 
nations, that we may know them by their fruits, as Christ 
has said. For this set or fixed law is as durable in the 
different houses or nations, as the different kinds of fruit; 
or why would Christ have made this comparison to fruit? 
Look at the thorn and the thistles, their nature is the 
same now as it was then, and so are the nations. The 
house of Ishmael gradually drifted into the priesthood so 
slowly and took such care to hide every trace of who they 
were, by changing their name, and educating themselves 
in a manner to make a falsehood so perfect that they 
could deceive all the world, even the house of Judah them- 
selves, but they could not deceive Christ. In St. John, 
8:37-44, He says: "I know that ye are Abraham's seed, 
but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in 
you;'' again, u If you were Abraham's children ye would 
do the works of Abraham;" and he tells them their father 
was the father of lies — (see diagram No. 1)— -and the fath- 
er of this house is Ishmael, his hand against every man; 
the fact of their having descended from Abraham does 
not make them Israelites, their nature springs from the 
father of the tribe which can no longer be hidden and by 
which this nation is known and divided into tribes, which 
is also a set law, that is proof of their individuality as a 
people. 

We will now give the particulars in regard to each 



A NEW RACK PHRKNOLOGY. 5 

house and the laws that govern them, and will refer to 
them as No. 1, 2 and 3. 

No. 1, house of Ishmael, the fleshy covenant. Gen. 
17:12. We will give first the nature, disposition, bless- 
ing or covenant. Gen. 16. The birth of Ishmael was 
planned through worldly or ambitious desires of Sarah 
and her hand maid, (the Egyptian bondwoman), which 
she sorely repented, as it was the cause of much trouble, 
and was the origin of the fleshy covenant. This son was 
to represent a nation of people; and as any other seed 
planted, it brought forth the same kind of fruit as was 
planted. We find his nature in Gen. 16:12. And he 
will be a wild man, (or wicked disposition), his hand will 
be against every man, and every man's hand against him; 
and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren; or 
the house or tribes of Ishmael shall live among or 
near the house or sons of Isaac, and from the beginning, 
first as children, and then as nations, they have persecut- 
ed the seed of Isaac, the children of the promise. See 
Gal. 4:28-29. 

Now we, as Isaac was, are the children of promise, 
but, as then, "he that was born after the flesh persecuted 
him that was born after the spirit," even so it is now. 
Ishmael's covenant was that of circumcision. Gen. 17: 
13-14. His blessing in the 20th verse, and as for Ish- 
mael, I have heard thee; behold I have blessed him, 
and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him ex- 
ceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make 
him a great nation, because he w T as the seed of Abraham. 
Gen. 21 113. 

Now we will look at their general characteristics and 
adaptabilities as a nation. Traders and merchants. Gen. 
37:25-28. Complexion dark as a rule. Gen. 25:16-18. 
We find them dwelling in towns and castles, great for 
display, each nation or tribe with their princes or king, 
twelve according to their nation. They are not tillers of 



6 A NK.V RACE PHRENOLOGY. 

the ground, as is the house of Jacob. They never were, 
nor never will be shepherds. 

We find by comparing these facts, that God has kept 
them together by the fixed laws of their natures, their 
hand against others, and others' hands against them; 
there is not much affiliation with or for other nations. 
This is why there is such marked distinction, and they 
are so easily known. The Jews of today never were in 
captivity, but their history as completely erased as is the 
house of Jacob, just as God said would occur to them. 
(Israel.) Ps. 73 and 137: 37. The spiritual birth be- 
longed to Isaac and his seed. What a different prepara- 
tion. God had foretold his name, and also that through 
his seed, his (God's) everlasting (spiritual) covenant was 
to be established; flesh is not everlasting, but the spirit 
endureth forever. The angel of God visited Sarah and 
Abraham; now notice the different plan for Isaac's birth 
to that of Ishmael, which was born after the fleshy plan. 
It is plain to understand why these covenants were dif- 
ferent. Now follow this further on and see where Isaac 
prayed to God for children. The Lord heard, and said 
he was to be the father of two nations, two manner of 
people, and one nation was to be stronger than the Other. 
This fixed law was begun at their birth, was established 
for them before they were born; both of the same parents, 
twins at that. We also learn that this fixed law is to re- 
main with them after they have become nations; to be 
handed down to the end of time, that they are to be 
known by. 



Diagrams Nos. 2 and 3. 

Birth ok Ksau and Jacob. Gen. 25:24. 

Now we ask you to read for yourselves, and notice 
carefully the different dispositions of these twin brothers. 
Esau was to be a cunning hunter; as we understand the 



A NEW RACK PHRENOLOGY. J 

term, sly. His great weakness was his appetite. The 
spiritual blessing should have been his, but God saw fit 
to direct it to his brother Jacob, as foretold before they 
were born, that the elder should serve the younger, and 
we see in 2nd Samuel 8:14 that all they of Edom (Esau) 
became servants to David. Jacob bought the birthright 
from Esau by an honest contract, carrying out God's 
plan, yet the manner in which he gained the blessing 
makes him appear deceitful; but he, knowing his father 
would not permit it, therefore took the easiest and best 
plan. 

These nations did not practice circumcision as a cov- 
enant, but only as the seed of Abraham; not deeming it 
obligatory upon them as did the nations of Ishmael, (or 
the Jews of today), soon discarded the custom. We learn 
that Esau's father gave him a worldly blessing, as his 
spiritual blessing had passed away from him. Gen. 27: 
37-40. Behold thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the 
earth and by the sword shalt thou live, etc. This corres- 
ponds with his nature, a cunning hunter, a shedder of 
blood, and to break his yoke (his brother's power) from 
off thy neck; and he vowed in his heart he would slay his 
brother; he did not do it as a brother, but when 
they became nations, this was accomplished by thy 
sword. Please read Ps. 83 and we find that they 
jointly with the nations of Ishmael were the perse- 
cuters; for the Ishmaelites had a grievance as well, 
because Isaac had received the greater blessing, which 
was the spiritual, and these were the nations that God 
had prepared to do this act. Deut. 28:17, for Israel was 
God's workman through whom it was his purpose to make 
and perfect this law for the benefit of other nations. God 
could not judge them, or in other words, they were not 
responsible beings until they became acquainted with 
God's laws; then in the end when all nations have re- 
ceived the benefit of the law, then the power will return

back to Israel where it belongs, and the people will be 
under the spiritual law instead of the material as in the 
past. 

The adaptabilities of the house of Esan, as a nation, 
are soldiers and men of war, possessed of a desire to con- 
quer. Rulers, Generals, Govenors, King Herod, Julius 
Csesar were of the house of Esau; also Sanballot the Hor- 
onite. See Neh. 2:19. In Gen. 36 we find the geneology 
of the Dukes and Kings of Edom. 



Diagram JMo. 3. 
Jacob. Gen. 25:27. 

Jacob was a plain man dwelling in tents; disposition, 
quiet and unassuming; possessing a desire to please; al- 
though some might consider he did not treat his brother 
as he should in regard to the birthright. He gave all his 
brother required, and was obeying what God had foretold 
should be done. We would not have had a good descrip- 
tion of these nations if this transaction had not been left 
on record, for us to know what kind of seed had been 
planted and what kind of fruit to look for. All these 
descriptive figures were intended as a guide, that we 
might be able to classify the different nations (then tribes) 
and read the marks of the beasts in the foreheads and 
hands. The beast is the house or power; the forehead 
the intellect, the hands are also marks of the tribes, and is 
a testimony whether we are working for God or the 
devil. We should all work for the new covenant Christ. 

Now we will follow Jacob a little further and notice 
their adaptions as a nation. Plain, quiet people, inter- 
ested in education and in mental and spiritual advance- 
ment; the minds developing faith in God and his laws. 
They were shepherds and cultivators of the soil, and 
this is the kind of dispositions God required, that he could 
entrust with his law, to establish it among the nations. 



A NEW RACK PHRENOLOGY. 9 

They learned the Egyptian's arts and sciences and even 
surpassed them in skill, thus proving the depth of their 
natural abilities. 

We will not consider Nos. 4 and 5, in this article, as 
we desire to make a more thorough statement of what 
Jeremiah builded and planted; and as it mostly concerns 
these three nations we have partly described, Nos. 4 and 
5 are of less importance and are only branches of the 
others. We are endeavoring to prove that there was a 
fixed law from the begining of these nations whereby they 
can be known today. We find that Ezekiel saw these 
houses which represent a wheel, by all the tribes being 
attracted to one common father; of course these spokes 
(or tribes) were full of eyes, and they went to war, but 
returned to their own people. Ezek. 1:14. Weconsider 
this a very good proof that these nations are held together 
by attractions of love for each other, as our own house- 
holds are held together. We have given the blessings, 
covenants and natural adaptabilities, which is distributed 
to the sons that became the head of the tribes; which seed 
is in the blood and handed down from father to son, by 
which they are to be known as fruit is known. Christ 
said, "By their fruits ye shall know them;" not guessed 
at. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 
These fruits are handed down from the creation; so are 
the general bent of the people's minds from the time they 
were brought into existence; and as man has cultivated 
the different fruits, just so it has been God's plan to cul- 
tivate, improve and civilize us, that we might be of great 
good to him, as the fruit is to us.

CHAPTER II. 

COMPARED WORK OF NATIONS. 

We will now show where each nation in turn has 
proven this, when viewed in the proper light. It is a 
well known fact that God revealed his law to the world 
at large, through the Mosaic priesthood; prior to this it 
was handed down from Adam, from father to son, or, 
those that God chose, through the Melchesidic priesthood; 
the generality of the people was not benefited prior to the 
Mosaic law, and it was established" with Jacob, or his 
twelve sons (that compose the house) which became world 
renowned, and a wonder to all nations; their power was 
felt, and other nations became convinced that God was 
with them. Now, when the nations of Ishmael and Edom 
knew who these people were, they envied them, feeling 
they were the eldest sons or nations, and should have re- 
ceived the highest gifts of God. Nevertheless they made 
overtures of friendship, but with evil designs, intending 
the overthrow of the children of Israel. In the simplicity 
of their natures, they did not divine the intents and pur- 
poses of these people, and through their willingness to 
teach the law in public, they were led by these friendly 
pretenses into many and various sins. They committed 
a great sin by disobeying God's commands to not marry 
in strange nations; this was their weakness, and they 
was also deceived by these two nations, claiming to be of 
the same origin, the same father Abraham; which ac- 
counts in a measure for their blindness; although it was 
forbidden of God; and he saw fit to remove them into 
captivity for a great purpose; they thought altogether for 
their sins, yet God had a deeper motive, and was prepar- 



A NEW RACK PHRENOLOGY. II 

ing them as well as the other nations, for what was, and 
is yet to come. The seed of Abraham was all to be blessed ; 
but how could this be accomplished without a knowledge 
of the law. These two nations, Tshmael and Edom, were 
without the law, and bowed down to idol worship. 

We learn in Ezra i the Lord stirred up the spirit of 
Cyrus, King of Persia, (a direct descendant of the house 
of Ishmael) and he said the Lord of Heaven hath given 
me all the kingdoms of the earth, and hath charged me 
to build him a house at Jerusalem which is in Judah, thus 
accepting the Judah or Mosaic law, is why they called 
themselves the Jews. Then God removed the priesthood 
from Israel to prepare them for the new covenant, the 
coming of Christ. Jere. 31 ■2 > l -33- They were the Jews 
that believed on Christ, yet had no power as to laws or 
earthly influence; but received him in their hearts as God 
intended. At the same time, the nations of Ishmael and 
Edom were learning the laws of Moses and were becoming 
a God believing people; although they did not accept 
Christ. They were not yet perfect in the law; their 
minds were not looking for a spiritual blessing, and are 
not the tribes of Judah, as is generally claimed, though 
they were around in that part of the country, but the 
Jews that believed on Christ were in humble life. God, 
by the mouth of Jeremiah, made this plan known to the 
people. In the 24th chapter we understand they are rep- 
resented by the two kinds of figs. There was a portion 
of the tribe of Judah that was faithful, and a portion that 
was disobedient; hence the comparison to the good and 
evil figs; and with reference to the good figs or people, 
He says: "I will bring them again to this land, and will 
build them and not pull them down; I will plant them 
and not pluck them up." This did not occur at the end 
of the 70 years as is generally stated; the time was not 
given; this is a vile mistake in the history of the Jews. 
We know those that did return, were plucked up and scat- 



12 \ NEW RACK PHRENOLOGY. 

Lered as was promised to the evil figs; and the land is a 
desert today as a proof. 

Now what became of the good figs, or people, that 
God was to protect and keep for his own, as the pure seed 
of Judah, that was to receive this great reward. This is 
one of God's mysteries that we may be able to penetrate 
and understand if we do not listen to man's teaching, or 
the Jews of the present day, but follow the events that 
took place, and why they occured, and we will learn that 
this was done for the good of the world in general. In 
Jeremiah 27, we find what became of them at that time. 
The word of God came to Jeremiah, saying, ' 'Make the 
bonds and yokes and put them on thy neck, and send 
them to the King of Edom, (see illustration No. 2), and 
to the King of Moab, and to the King of the Ammonites, 
and to the King of Tyrus, and to the King of Zidon;" all 
of which includes the house of Ishmael; (see illustration 
No. 1); the bonds are verses from 4 to 7. We find these 
bonds are to last until the very time of his (Judah) land 
come that they would need no more to be plucked up; in 
other words, until the fulfillment of the Gentile time, or 
fulfillment of their time with the priesthood; for the 
other nations were without the law, worshiping idols and 
creeping things. God intended to keep the twelve tribes, 
(not the ten), for this prophecy came to the tribe of Ju- 
dah while in captivity, what would happen; Jere. 24. 
Those that had not married strange wives took the bonds, 
in humble life until the other nations had been benefitted 
with the laws; see what a wise plan. We find in Mal- 
achi 1 :n that his name shall be great among the Gentiles, 
and in every place incense shall be offered. Now, those 
that returned and gave in their geneology were the evil 
figs, and those that married strange wives; but they were 
enough to deceive the people. That was the blindness for 
they were warned not to believe that the true people was 
to be returned, for he says, thay prophecy a lie unto you; 



A NEW RACK PHRENOLOGY. 1 3 

"but we see the people would rather believe the false 
prophets, and so they do to this day. God knew they 
would make great pretense to restore them ; but the most 
sacred vessels and the Ark did not return, that has been 
sufficiently proven since; then why believe a lie any 
longer? The question is, why should our wise men make 
such blunders in history? Because God has said, let their 
eyes be darkened, (Judah or seedof Jacob), Rom. 11:10, 
that they may not see, and bow down their backs always; 
(while we are in bondage to other nations). Rom. 11:25. 
For I would not brethren that you should be ignorant of 
this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own conceit. 
Their bonds had not yet expired in Paul's time; he knew, 
but dare not reveal it, as it was God's desire they should 
come by faith in Christ and Salvation; then this his- 
torical blindness will cease, they will become aware of 
their power, emerge from humble life, and all stand on 
more equal footing, and the other nations having the law 
and understanding, are also subject to faith in Christ and 
the higher powers. Rom. 12. 

Now if the fall of Israel, by being in subjection to the 
other nations by the bonds, be the riches of the world, 
(giving the law to the Gentiles and to all nations, through 
which of obeyed, they gain eternal life), how much more 
happy Israel will be when returned to power again, to 
know that through their suffering this overthrow, they 
have opened up the way for all other nations to learn of 
God, the way of Salvation through the law and Christ. 



14 A NEW RACK PHRENOLOGY. 



CHAPTER III. 

RETURN OF THE CAPTIVES. 536 B. C. 

We will now give a close observation of the return 
of those out of captivity. Ezra 1. Now in the first year 
of Cyrus, King of Persia, we have already learned what 
Jeremiah said, that the tribe of Judah and Israel were to 
take bonds to obey other nations; so this is what is going 
to be fulfilled before the return of Judah; first, King Cyrus 
is a king of the house of Ishmael; and in this house God 
restores the priesthood. Jere. 28:14. For thus sayeth 
the Lord of hosts: I have put a yoke of iron upon the 
neck of all these nations (the tribes of Judah and Israel) 
that they may be servants, Jere. 22:5, and advised to build 
houses and plant gardens. Verse 28. For he 
sent unto us into Babylon, saying this captivity is long; 
(meaning the bonds, for the 70 years was then nearly ex- 
pired, 606 B. C); and they were expecting to return 
when this new order came. 

Now it will be necessary to take particular notice, as 
this comes from Jere., and he begins his first building, 
restoring or planting. See Ezra 1. Cyrus, king of 
Persia, made a proclamation. Verse 2. The Lord God 
of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; He 
hath charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem which 
is in Judah. Now this is the last link of history. It 
was not the tribe of Judah that restored the priesthood 
and built the Temple at Jerusalem as is generally believed. 
King Cyrus asked those of the house of Israel to help him, 



A NEW RACE PHRENOLOGY. 1 5 

that would of their own free will. Verse 7. Cyi us brought 
forth the vessels of the house of the Lord; perhaps he 
had some of the minor things, but he did not get the holy 
vessels, as we [learn further on; and at last had to make 
their own by description as given in the Mosaic law. In 
Ezra 2, we find the record of those that returned; but 
they could not show their father's house; their seed, 
whether they were of Israel ; they sought their .register, 
but it was not found and they as polluted were put from 
the priesthood. These people seem to be the evil figs 
that Jeremiah said would return to be persecuted, and be- 
come a hiss and a by-word. Josephus was present at the 
destruction of the Temple by Titus, A. D. 70, and de- 
sired them to surrender as they had brought the Hebrews 
under contempt. Josephus says they confessed to the 
truth, that they were the scum, the spurious, discarded 
< ffsprings of our nation; and usurped the name of Jews or 
Hebrew, that they might appear less impious in the sight 
of strangers. This is true of these Jews today, knowing 
they sprang from Hagar, the servant, and with those that 
would not desert their strange wives, are what compose 
this class of people. 

We could explain many more points of truth along 
this line of history, and may sometime, but it would make 
our article too long, and take us away from the subject 
w r e most desire to bring before the people at this time. 
We find in Chron. 13, that they start the building, and 
perhaps some of the good figs (people) were there at 
work. In the 4th chapter we find the adversaries (and 
we must keep in mind who those adversaries are, the 
Arabians, are the Ishmaelites, also the Medes,) of Judah 
and Benjamin heard the children of the captivity (of the 
bonds) had builded the Temple. Ezra. 6. Darius, king 
of Persia, made a search where the treasures or books 
were kept, and a record was found, which they accepted 
and was sure the order was for them before they would 



i<> A NEW RACK PHRENOLOGY. 

permit any further work. In the 14th verse is another 
proof that the children of Israel builded for others to be 
planted, for they builded according to the commandment 
ol the kino f Persia, which God had commanded through 
the month of Jeremiah; and no doubt they enjoyed the 
work, thinking in time they would be restored to power. 
They could not keep the Levis with them, they came 
and went home as their work was done. In Ezra 9 we 
find that he (Ezra) is left alone with his evil figs; and he 
acknowledges the condition of bonds spoken of by Jere- 
miah, chapter 28. And after all of Ezra's trouble in sep- 
arating them from their strange wives, and their prom- 
ises to him, yet 10 years later (Neh. 13) we find that in 
Nehemiah's dealings with them, he found by their lan- 
guage and actions, they were not the people he thought 
they were. He was wrath, and smote them and plucked 
the hair of their heads, and made them swear they would 
do better. Yet in following their history later by Jose- 
phus, we find they still have their strange wives; and 
this again is proof that what Jeremiah said about the 
evil figs came true; for as the house of Ishmael became 
educated, and able to handle the priesthood, they said, 
"Let us take to ourselves the promises of God (or Priest- 
hood);" so they did take charge of it and required these 
people to establish the priesthood for them and teach them 
the law, and when that was accomplished, they turned 
them away. 

When the Ishmaels took possession of the priesthood, 
they were very particular about marrying, as they practiced 
circumcision; this being the covenant between God and 
the Ishmael people. 

We will now return to Nehemiah 1, and notice con- 
cerning the Jews that had escaped. What did they es- 
cape? Their 70 years of captivity was long expired at 
this time. It was the captivity of the bonds; only the 
good figs for people that had a good record, and had not 



A NEW RACK PHRENOLOGY. 1 7 

marrv d strange wives, thereby becoming degenerated,) 
took the bonds to remain in obscurity; yet had the privi- 
lege of going where they pleased. This was much better 
than the 70 years captivity. 

Now, Nehemiah takes this remnant, and here is proof 
again that there were many that did not escape this sec- 
ond captivity. See Neh. 2:9-20. We find the same peo- 
ple that gave Ezra trouble are bobbing up, and are sorely 
grieved, that a man should come seeking the welfare of the 
children of Israel. In Neh. 7 we find that the people are 
again gathered together; the nobles that they might be 
reckoned by geneology, verse 61, and they could not show 
their father's house, nor their seed whether they were of 
Israel. Verse 64. They sought their register among 
those that were recorded by geneology; but it was not 
found; therefore they as polluted were put from the priest- 
hood and could not eat of the holy things, till there stood 
up a priest with Urim and Thummim, or the proper 
priestly garments, and we consider this another proof 
that their so styled noble men were of the vilest figs. 

What is your opinion, reader, of these people? Yet 
these people were growing in strength and sought the 
Mosaic law, (Neh. 8), and imitated the best they could 
under the circumstances, still we see they did not have 
the holy vessels, as Jeremiah said they were not to go back, 
yet people are so willing to believe false teachers instead 
of God's word. Nehemiah acknowledged this bond con- 
dition. See chapter 9:36. Behold, we are servants this 
day, and for the land that thou gavest unto our fathers, 
to eat the fruit thereof, and the good thereof, behold we 
are servants in it; and it yieldeth much increase unto the 
kings whom thou hast set over us; also they have domin- 
ion over our bodies at their pleasure, and we art in great 
distress. Ezra and Nehemiah were of the true seed, yet 
it was God that stired them up to establish the priesthood 
for the other nations is plainly to be seen. Nehe. 11 124. 



IS A NEW RACK PHRENOLOGY. 

Judah or the children of Zerah was at the king's com- 
mand. We read in Joel, 3rd chapter, that they sold them 
to the Grecians when they got through with them, they 
also sent them through the nations as teachers; and by 
this method the Romans were enabled to establish the 
educational system. In regard to the children of Israel, 
God said they would be scattered among all nations, and 
shine as stars among a perverse generation. 

Return again to Nehemiah 13, and you can learn 
something of how they run the priesthood in the absence 
of Nehemiah. See 7th verse. And I came to Jerusalem 
and understood of the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah. 
(He was one of the enemies of Israel.) They were hav- 
ing a grand feast, and it was discovered that the Levites 
that had done the work were not there; they had fled 
every one to his field. We will direct you to Psalm 137, 
which appears to have been written on this occasion, and 
is an expression of the feeling of the people at that time. 
For they that carried us away captives, required of us a 
song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, say- 
ing, sing us one of the songs of Zion. How shall we sing 
the Lord's songs in a strange land. This feeling was 
caused by their bondage to strangers, or, to other nations; 
yet as we see it, this was God's plan; for those that obeyed 
God, were not harmed and had plenty, only they were 
humbled and stripped of power. The two nations were 
contending for supremacy and the priesthood for two hun- 
dred years. 

We learn in ancient history that the Sadusees and 
Pharisees were a class of people who went to Greece 
and were educated in the law; they did not drop their 
pedigree, hence can be traced back to Ishmael as their 
father, and not to Isaac or Jacob; and the Romans, or house of 
Edom, trace their origin back to Abraham through Esau, 
although they have tried to conceal it by claiming to orig- 
inate from Romaics, or, the she- wolf nursed them; yet 



A NEW RACE PHRENOLOGY. 1 9 

we have history that plainly tracts them back to Esau. 
They were also promised the priesthood and prepared a 
class of their people called the Maccabees for their singers 
and priesthood, see Malachi 1:11, for the promise to all 
nations. For from the rising of the sun, even from the 
going down of the same, my name shall be great among 
the Gentiles, and in every place incense shall be offered 
unto my name. 

This is why the priesthood was not done away with 
when Christ came, because there were many nations with- 
out the law. So we conclude that Jeremiah was about 
correct when he made this statement in regard to pulling 
down and building up; but the promise is still to the 
house of Jacob, there being no house of Judah after they 
took the bonds; for they all acknowledged that they art- 
servants in their own land, at the time they were building 
the priesthood, for the evil figs to disgrace, and bring re- 
proach upon the tribe of Judah. But when the truth is 
known, Judah will be free, and the disgrace will rest 
upon those to whom it belongs, to the house of Ishmael. 
We know they are the nations that crucified Christ, and 
did many wicked things according to the general view; 
but this was a part of God's great plan, for he told the 
Israelites this would be if they sinned. See Deut. 28:49- 
50. John, the Revelator, knew these Ishmael Jews were 
deceiving the people. In Rev. 2:9 he said, k 'I know tin- 
works and tribulations and poverty (or make belief as the 
Jews today) but thou art rich, and I know the blasphemy 
of them which say they are Jews (or tribe of Judah) and 
are not, but are the synagogues of Satan;" again, Rev. 
3:9, ''Behold I will make them of the synagogues 
of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; 
behold I will make them to come and w T orship before thy 
feet, and to know that I have loved thee." We under- 
stand by this, that they are to bow down to the proper 
tribe of people in the fullness of time; which w r ill ere long

be revealed to the world. These people (the Ishmael 
Jews) are the greatest money loaners of the world, and 
were then; they made of the priesthood a means of traffic 
to make money; and in this, exhibit the true nature aiid 
adaptabilities of this house of Ishmael, and proves this 
fixed law of trade was handed down from their father; 
and they get the best of the bargain in every transaction 
with the Gentiles. By their fruits we are to know them. 
Read Gal. 4:22-29. He that was born after the flesh, 
persecuted him that was born after the spirit, even so it 
is now. There was a hatred existed between these three 
fathers. Ishmael hated Isaac, for Isaac had received a 
blessing of a higher order, which was that of the spiritual. 
Esau hated Jacob for buying his birthright. So this feel- 
ing has been handed down for a purpose, that of keeping 
the people from mixing up in marriage promiscuously 
and becoming degenerated; this fixed law, or feeling, 
keeps them in a measure to their own people as we see 
them today. In Gen. 27:40 remember, Esau was to 
break his brother's yoke(or power) from off his neck, and 
live by the sword; this his people had accomplished when 
Christ came to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. The 
people of Esau were in power as Governors at that time, 
with the Ishmaelites handling the priesthood, as long as 
they would pay Rome a tribute. Zacharias, mentioned 
in Luke 1, was a Levite and of the proper blood; but the 
Ishmael Jews did not seem to know it; God had raised 
him up for a purpose; and as soon as the Ishmael Jews 
learned what great power his son, John the Baptist, be- 
gan to exhibit, they were afraid, and killed him, also 
John. See Luke 11:51. This was the second Zacharias 
that was killed by the Ishmael Jews. In St. John 8:31, 
Jesus said to those Jews who believed on him, (verse 32), 
"Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you." 
Now this created a feeling of resentment to spring up in 
the hearts of the false Jews. (See Rom. 2:28-29). For he

is not a Jew which is one outwardly, but he is a Jew 
which is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the 
heart, in the spirit and not in the letter, whose praise is 
not of men but of God. They knew these were the 
proper Jews that were in bondage to them and they ques- 
tioned his right to do this. See St. John 2 133. They say 
we be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any 
man; how sayest thou, ye shall be made free? Now this 
is what Christ meant: If they had believed on him, and 
acknowledged that they were not of the house of Judah, 
they would have been free from that great sin of deceiv- 
ing the people, and in the same act would have released 
the proper Jews from these bonds; for Jesus answered 
them, saying, "Whosoever committeth sin is the servant 
of sin." So this false position proved they were the ser- 
vants of sin. He further says to them, "The servant 
abideth not in the house forever, but the Son abideth 
ever." (See Gal. 4:30). The son of the bond woman, 
shall not be heir with the son of the free woman. So 
then brethren we are not children of the bond woman, 
but of the free. Now we have shown that these so-called 
Jews of today, are the direct descendants of the servant 
Hagar; they sprang from that house, and did not exist 
prior to Ishmael, yet Abraham was Ishmael's father, but 
in Isaac was the seed called. Christ said to them, U I 
speak that which I have seen with my father, and ye do 
that which ye have seen with your father. 1 ' (Islimae), 
his hand against every man, even Christ). Christ proved 
this fixed law of descent from the house (St.John 8:44) is 
a good illustration of how the Ishmael nations have de- 
ceived us, but Christ was not deceived; He knew, but the 
time had not come to reveal these things that were to 
come through faith in Christ. His new covenant did not 
come into effect until his death and resurrection. Math- 
ew 21:43. Therefore say I unto you, the kingdom of 
God (the priesthood) shall be taken from you, and given

to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof; because they 
had made his house a den of thieves and brought the 
priesthood into disrepute, by their weakness to make 
money by their trade. Ye shall know them by their 
fruits. (The Ishmael Jews.) See what Paul says about 
these Jews of the circumcision, Titus 1:10-11: "That 
they are deceivers for the filthy lucre's sake." They be- 
came so rich and impudent, they would no longer pay 
tribute to Rome, (neither do they want to pay taxes today;, 
so there was a war, that history gives a very accurate ac- 
count of, and it terminated in Titus burning the temple; 
then came the change. Christ foretold that the priest- 
hood was to be given to another nation bringing forth 
fruits. 

At this time the Romans were sun and planet 
worshipers, and of various idols. In time they came forth 
with the priesthood and we find that the priesthood is 
still with the house of Edom. We know this by tracing 
their descent and the changes they have passed through 
and they now claim the descent from Abraham and Moses, 
as did the Ishmaelites; yet they could not claim the tribe 
of Judah, but permitted Ishmael Jews to retain their Sab- 
bath day and worship as they pleased. (See Josephus, 
page 486). 

Now the cities illtreated the Jews in Asia, took away 
their sacred money, and did not allow them the same 
privilege they had before. Cseser Augustus, high priest 
and tribune, said, "Since the nations of the Jews hath 
been grateful to the Roman people, not only at this time, 
but in times past also, and chiefly Hycramas under my 
father, Cseser the Emperor." This statement goes to 
show he did not mean the Israelite Jews, for they did not 
help the Romans, but the Ishmael Jews did help them to 
keep the Israelite Jews in submission, and for this reason 
are to be allowed to make use of their ancient customs, 
and their Sabbath day, and it would also practice another

early history, they used the Esau sword pretty freely to 
compel the people to obey their law, and they would

fruits we are to know them. 

The time is fast approaching when we may know 
the truth. Christ said the truth will make us free. We 
have a bad habit of believing what somebo.lv says, instead 
of investigating for ourselves, and hold fast to the prom- 
ises and believe on Christ. He told US to beware o\ the 
Pharisees, that they are hypocrites and liars. 

How many believe the Jews of today are the children 
of Israel, because they can trace their origin back to Ab- 
raham; but that does not make them the tribe of Judah. 



24 A NEW RACK PHRENOLOGY. 

The Romans can trace their origin back to Abraham; yet 
no one thinks of calling them Jews, though they are more 
nearly related to the children of Israel than Ishmael, for 
these nations were twin brothers and have the promise, 
"In Isaac shall the seed be called." They will be largely 
instrumental in bringing about this great day. 

There are not many that is taking heed to the changes 
that is creeping upon us, but it is truth all the same. 
We should believe what Christ said, giving heed to the 
word of God, keep the laws, and the blessings of promise 
are ours, and we need not expect it till we do this. 

This is our plan of investigation, and it is plain to us 
why the children of Israel were cast away, and into bonds 
to other nations, also the meaning of Paul's words, when 
he said it is the riches of the world. It has been the 
means of other nations becoming civilized and educated 
in the law. Compare the people then and now. We now 
have to go to the dark races to find idol worship, and 
many of them are "becoming civilized; yet the world is 
not perfect, the work is not done, and will not be until 
the spiritual power and rule of the new covenant is estab- 
lished; and this will take place in the fullness of Gentile 
time, (or the nation with the priesthood), which is near 
upon us. 

We find this same fixed law that rules the nations 
and tribes, is to be the same in the future, when they 
will all give an account of the way in which they have 
made use of the law. When the seals are opened there 
will be no excuse as there has been plenty of time and 
opportunity. These houses we are representing to you, 
have been referred to by most of the prophets as the 
great beasts that was full of eyes, sometimes as trees, 
others as chariots and horses. The mark of the beast, is 
the mark of the house to which they belong, each recog- 



A NEW RACK PHRENOLOGY. 25 

nized by this fixed law of nature; and as facts in history 
reveal this same law for the future, so it must be with us 
at present. See Rev. 6:2. He that sat on the white 
horse (house of Jacob) to which the promise was given of 
the everlasting covenant, through which Christ the con- 
queror came. Then came the red horse, (house of Esau) 
and in the begining was given a sword to take peace from 
the earth and kill one another. Esau vowed he would 
slay his brother, and was to live by the sword. Verse 5. 
Behold a black horse, (this compares with the Jewish 
complexion as a rule), and he that sat on the black horse, 
had a pair of balances in his hand, (born with them in 
his hanc^ perhaps). Verse 6. And I heard a voice in the 
midst of the four beasts, say a measure of wheat for a 
penny, and three measures of barley for a penny, and hurt 
not the oil and the wine, (or anything else that can be 
sold). 

These things should convince anyone that the Jews 
of today are not, and never were Judah or Israel; for 
they have changed not, and never were in bondage, nev- 
er did follow the occupation of the shepherd, neither have 
they any inclination in that direction. They have not 
the ability to attain to the fine mechanical arts, or to any 
of the occupations, for which the children of Israel be- 
came so famous. History does not show that they ever 
did anything of the kind; only as they themselves tell it 
for the sake of policy. They boast of their cast of feat- 
ures never changing. Read Jeremiah, chapters 48 and 
49; see God's judgment against Moab and Ammonites, 
tribes of Lot, Kodar, tribes of Ishmael, Edomites and 
Chaldeans of Babylon. 

The time it has taken to pull down and build up all 
these nations is too much to give in this article, but his- 
tory will tell how long and when; but a greater portion 
of this has come to pass. 



26 A NEW RACE PHRENOLOGY. 

Where are those nations? Some of them exist yet^ 
but under new names, and under different laws. The 
laud is a dessert where most of this took place and these 
powers herein represented are the people who held Israel 
and Judah in bondage; and for the Ishmael Jews to now 
acknowledge these bonds and yet try to suppress from 
power as in days of old would be very disastrous; for they 
claim to be the original people (Israel) and now to openly 
declare their power, would be a public acknowledgement 
of who they are. Their manner of control now is some- 
what on the secret order, and through the power of 
money. This is plain to us and we feel it a duty to de- 
clare it and give all a fair chance if they will only take 
heed to their ways; furthermore we believe that this has 
to be all straightened at the closing of this century. 

Now we learn from Jer. 50:4-7 that after all of this 
pulling down and destroying of the powers, that in the 
end or in these days, after all was over, that the children 
of Israel shall come, they and Judah together, and seek 
the Lord, and said let us join ourselves to the Lord in a 
perpetual covenant (Christ) that shall not be forgotten. 
We find they are now together, consulting what to do; 
and from ascertained facts of history have been together 
since they took the bonds. They became a flourishing 
vine of humble estate; then they were all called by the 
name of Israel, and that is the proper name of the house, 
and Judah returns to it. All the disgrace Judah is un- 
der is loosing his name as a power, but this will be re- 
moved. Judah and Israel were spoken of separately for 
five hundred years; and this misleads so many in the be- 
lief that they remained separate. Ezra refers to the 
bonds as sticks or rods; 37:19-20. 

We see in Isaiah they were joined together to be no 
more two nations; Judah and Israel, to walk together; 
they were oppressed together by those that took them 



A NEW RACE PHRENOLOGY. 27 

captive; who they were that took them captive we have 
already stated most clearly. 

The 5th chapter of Nehemiah gives a good account 
of the advantage gained by the Ishmael Jews over the 
Israelites, by mortgages on their farms, something like 
the circumstances of the people in the present day. It is 
an old saw, but a true one, that history repeats itself, and 
we venture to say that in time Israel will repeat their 
power, emerge from their life of obscurity, (as in times 
past they came out from the bondage of Egypt, also the 
forty years in the wilderness,) and surprise the world. 
But when they come together through faith in Christ, 
they will be again planted never to be plucked tip. 

When the house of Israel was in power, they were 
classed in tribes, and was each of a different habit and oc- 
cupation, symbolical of the churches that have been 
brought together through a belief in Christ. Yet we are 
told there will be strangers found with them, not of the 
house of Israel, but all are welcome that accept Christ as 
their high priest. The churches (not the synagogues) 
came into existence through the teachings of the new 
covenant, that was promised to Israel. So they, as the 
tribes of Israel, should be, or have been drawn together in 
the different churches representing the different tribes. 

There are people who go from one church to another 
until they find one that harmonizes with their nature; 
many times each member of the family belonging to a 
different church. This is the separation spoken of by 
Christ in Math. 13:30 and 24:31, and as in Luke 12:53-57. 
1 'When you see a cloud rise out of the west, ye say there 
cometh a shower, and so it is, and ye see the South wind 
blow, ye say there will be heat. Ye hypocrites, ye can 
discern the face of the sky, and of the earth, but how is 
it that ye do not discern this time, yea, and why even of 
yourselves judge ye not what is right." 



2S A NEW RACE PHRENOLOGY. 

These are mysteries confronting the people today, 
which would be no mystery if we would seek for truth in- 
stead of doctrines; praying God to open up our under- 
standing, that faith may receive sight, and we be no 
longer in darkness.
